treasures for the tree....

I received a lovely little decoration in the mail today and thought I should show some of the home made decorations that are making my tree looks so beautiful.
This little munched on fellow arrived today. I just love him thankyou Fiona! He definitely puts a smile on your face.

this little fellow arrived a week or so ago from the lovely Michelle

this santa was from Fiona last year and this one on the right was from Els

this ornament was made by my mum probably over 25 years ago. The little beaded bell was hand made in Indonesia.

This heart is woven from beech tree bark all the way from Sweden.
this little star is also handmade by the same friend in Sweden

this beautiful hanger came from Els in the Netherlands last Christmas.

Here are some bought decorations. I found this jar of red cookie cutters reduced to $8 at Safeway! I bought two and emptied one jar by making them into decorations and adding them to a card for a gift for the craft group girls that I will be seeing this weekend. The rest will hang on the tree. They are quite cute.

Here is a non Christmas item....This little treasure is something I picked up in the city on Saturday.
I just couldn't resist it! As you can see from the picture it is tiny and the detail is so pretty.
for those that are unfamiliar with Australian currency a five cent piece measures about 2 cm (3/4 inch) in diameter.

Not much craftiness to show and tell but I have managed a hexie flower for my Swan Lake stock pile.

I am so enjoying my Christmas decorations, they are so beautiful I want to leave them up all year!

All your Christmas decorations look lovely Marina. I love unpacking the Christmas things and remembering all the stories that go with them - especially the ones made by my children when they were little :)
